DHCP from gateway
-
How would I set up my pfsense box to assign IP addresses from my gateway instead of the DHCP from the pfsense box.
I am unable to bridge my modem for work related issues.
my end goal is to do traffic shaping to reduce buffer bloatI would normal just bridge my gateway and let pfsense deal with very thing but not able too under my situation

You could do that with a dhcp relay, but why do you think you need that? Unless you have a block of public addresses, the gateway would just hand out RFC 1918 private addresses and pfSense can hand out those addresses too.
-
The reason I want to set it up this way is I have wifi pods that connect to my modem. and on the lan side I have some computers that I need to do traffic shaping on. but want them to both be on the same subnet.

Then you don't want to use the Wifi on the modem. You cannot have the same subnet on both sides of pfSense, unless you configure it to be a pass through firewall.
